[3 Question Friday] Still stuck picking your vertical?
Picking a vertical isn’t just about TAM size or margins.
It’s about finding a market you want to serve so well, your competitors don’t stand a chance.
One where your insight is sharp, your intent is clear, and your offers are rooted in real care.
Most agencies skip that part. And it shows.
Here are 3 questions to help you make the right call:
- Which market do you actually give a damn about? And how would your strategy shift if you built a category-leading agency to serve those people?
- What audience do you already understand better than 95% of your competitors—and how long will you keep ignoring that unfair advantage?
- If you could only accept referrals from one type of client for the next year, which one would give you the highest-margin, easiest-to-close deals?
The truth is, vertical specialization only works if you pick a market you’re willing to obsess over.
That’s why I dedicated multiple chapters to it in Anyone, Not Everyone.
Start with Chapter 4 to reframe how you think about “picking a niche,” then dive into Chapters 5 and 6 for filters, scoring, and strategic validation.
Have a great weekend.
